New 1035 hp Ferrari FXX K hybrid based on LaFerrari
New 1035 hp Ferrari FXX K hybrid based on LaFerrari: "Don't go reaching for the check book just yet, as Ferrari’s new FXX K (for KERS) is unlikely to be sold, nor will it race in sanctioned competition, as it has been built based on the LaFerrari supercar but completely unfettered by homologation and racing regulations. The FXX K will break cover this coming weekend as part of the 2014 Finali Mondiali Ferrari, a four day racetrack celebration of everything Ferrari."
